ultimately

The banquet ends with the sudden appearance of a monster named Cultist and being suppressed by Victor.

Hastily finished.

The relatives of the nobles, when they learned of their deaths, wept and wept.

Through the shriveled corpses, the members of their family can barely be identified.

Several richly dressed youths stumbled to the corpses.

They grabbed the skin of their old man's corpse, and while crying loudly, they forcibly suppressed the corners of their mouths that couldn't help but rise.

They rolled up the pitiful skins of their heads and dragged their heavy steps out of the splendid banquet palace.

Victor stood in the doorway, his staff with a golden bird's head.

Looking at the family members, holding the corpses of their families, they left one after another.

Actually, from the very beginning, when entering this banquet hall.

Victor has already activated the [Lady of Justice's Libra].

The appearance of the cultists was determined.

In the end, they were attracted by the divine power of the goddess and crawled out of the bodies of those nobles who had long since died.

They are long dead.

From the very beginning, these believers were attached to these nobles.

After those filthy cultists left their bodies.

They became shriveled corpses with unrecognizable appearances.

It's exactly like the Delin family, the cultist who possessed Gwen's brother.

Although these dead nobles are not very high-status.

Most of them were just honorary barons, and viscounts and the like.

Their lives and deaths could not affect the foundation of the empire at all.

This shows that the believers of the goddess have not penetrated the royal capital deep enough.

After all, this is the royal capital, at the feet of the emperor.

It is difficult for cultists to develop here.

But this also shows how persistent these filthy believers are.

Even the royal capital had these believers.

In other cities of the empire, then, the believers may hide even deeper.

The mood of the nobles was extremely complicated, like a tangled mess, their brows were tightly locked, and their faces were sad as they left one by one.

Even the two people who are not in the same lineup on weekdays and don't like each other.

At this time, he also let go of the hatred brought about by the different positions on weekdays.

Things moved too quickly, too suddenly.

Even this banquet was held suddenly.

I'm afraid even the two princes don't know.

Today, His Majesty Oberly actually publicly handed over the throne to Aurelian.

It's good that the nobles don't have to stand in line.

If you think about it carefully, in addition to gender, Aurelian already has the background and qualifications that an heir should have.

Let's start with qualifications.

Although Erica's genius is too striking to ignore.

But if you look closely, you'll find out.

Aurelian's qualifications are definitely not bad.

At the age of fifteen, after a while, Aurelian, who had completely celebrated her birthday, would be sixteen years old.

At the age of sixteen, Aurelian had already become a second-order mage.

Her promotion speed is also not slow.

After all, Erica became a second-order mage at this time last year.

Let's talk about forces.

The military power is supported by the Northern Knights Drin family, and the power is supported by the Cravina family.

The teacher is the most powerful member of the famous Mage Council, Victor, and the head of the Knight House of the North, Gwen Delin.

With this support, the forces behind Aurelian are already very powerful.

But that's not all.

Aurelian even has the support of the Mage Council.

Although it is true that the Mage Council is a neutral organization.

But there are also two Imperial mages in this organization.

Rachel Weilan and Victor Kravenna.

These two councillors are rightful members of the Empire.

There were two members of the Empire who openly supported Aurelian.

Plus the influence of the Mage Council.

Aurelian's status has been internationally recognized.

This is already one level higher than the two princes.

And......

There was an outrageous speculation that they had never dared to say.

And so it goes.

The Mage Council is on the verge of becoming Victor's.

Who is Victor? It's Aurelian Saul's teacher!

Is it unreasonable for the Mage Council to support Aurelia Harmony?

It's so reasonable!

The nobles recognized the reality, unless one of the two princes could do something amazing at the last moment of this battle for the throne.

Otherwise, the final result cannot be changed at all.

One by one, the ministers walked out of the banquet hall, and when they passed the door of the banquet hall, they did not forget to greet Victor.

"See you next time, Count Victor."

Victor just nodded and leaned against the door frame, as if he greeted the other party.

Soon, the nobles in the banquet hall were gone.

Until Leah and Hernie walked out of the door together.

Seeing Victor, Leah put her hands on her chest and looked Victor up and down.

"That's good, it's another limelight today."

"Why are you always idle every time you have such a noble banquet?"

Although Leah also knew what Victor was doing this for.

Victor looked at Leah with deep eyes and responded calmly.

"It's getting late, go home early."

"I'll go back later."

Leah shrugged her shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, there's Hernie with me."

Thinking of Gwen's state, Leah spoke again:

"Remember to bring Gwen back sooner, you know how she's doing."

"I'm not reassured."

Seeing that Victor didn't react, she knew that Victor didn't have to worry.

So he nodded to Victor and walked in the direction of the carriage.

Hernie, on the other hand, had not yet moved, standing beside Victor, and seemed to be a little twisted.

Until Leah had already walked some distance, she didn't look back, just greeted:

"Hernie, hurry up!"

"Got it!"

Hernie responded, watching as Lia didn't look back.

Then, she adjusted her position and stood in front of Victor.

As if not giving Victor a chance to react at all, she boldly pounced on Victor.

His arms were tightly wrapped around Victor, as if to fit his body perfectly with Victor.

His head was buried in Victor's chest, his warm breath rising and falling, greedily breathing in Victor's scent.

As if her desires had been fully satisfied, Hernie raised her face and narrowed her eyes slightly.

He looked at Victor with a teasing smile, like a pink moon hanging over Henie's lips.

Hernie continued to wrap her arms tightly around Victor, her hands moving up and down his back.

"I've been waiting for you ♡ at home"

As the words fell, Hernie let go of Victor.

She took a few steps back, leaning slightly, her hair hanging down against gravity.

The crooked smile is like bathing in the spring breeze, as if even the night is a little brighter.

"Professor, come back early."

After saying that, she didn't care about Victor's reaction at all, and hurriedly ran in the direction of Riya.

Until the two of them boarded the carriage and left leisurely, like a blurred point of light gradually disappearing into the night.

Victor's face was expressionless, and he lowered his head slightly, glancing at the marks that had been pressed out of his chest.

The warmth still seemed to linger on his chest.

Vega swung her black wings, stretched out her beak, and tidied up her own messy black feathers,

With one eye down, it looked at Victor, and with a tsk it continued:

"It's useless to give you a chance."

"Don't you even dare to reach out and hug it back?"

However, the thought of standing on top of Victor's head happened to see the perfect view.

I have to say that the feeling is more obvious when looking down from above.

Vega thought about his small body, if he was caught in it, he was afraid that he would be suffocated directly.

Victor's expression was still like the calm water of a lake above the snowy peak, without any waves

Recently, Hernie has indeed become more and more bold.

Even in the palace, even if Leah was nearby, she dared to take the initiative to pick it up.

It's hard to imagine that once a girl with such low self-esteem.

What the hell has happened to make her what she is now.

But even so, he definitely wouldn't care less about Vega's taunts.

He still replied to Vega.

"Envious?"

"I can also prepare you with a body like Hernie."

Vega's hoarse laughter suddenly came to an abrupt end.

It's really not a good choice to fight Victor.

He would always try his best to keep it speechless.

At this point, Victor put away his staff.

The heavy staff with the golden bird's head turned into shards of starlight in Victor's hand and vanished.

And he put his hands in his pockets again, and said lightly to the black crow on his shoulder:

"Let's go, it's time to go and get Gwen back."

Victor turned and walked towards the deserted ballroom.

In the splendid banquet hall, there were only a few people.

Three councillors, as well as the Duke of Rivi.

At the end of the feast, Erica had already said hello to Victor and left early.

She seems to have the same as Victor in that she doesn't really like the atmosphere of the banquet.

But because of her identity, Erica had to come again.

Levi sat around with the three councillors, chatting without saying a word.

After all, it's late at night.

After announcing the most important things, the Emperor Oberly went back to his bedchamber early.

However, he specifically allowed everyone to stay in the banquet hall and have fun.

But where can those aristocratic lords still have fun.

From the appearance of the cultists to the suppression, it took only ten minutes.

They all made excuses and hurried away.

Until now, there are a few people left on the banquet.

But today, Oberly is in a good mood.

He finally got done with one of his thoughts.

Let Aurelian be the heir to the Empire.

But this matter must not be hastily carried out.

He needed to have a proper reason, a reason for the nobles not to find fault with it, to convince them of Aurelian.

So, Victor brought him this reason.

As a teacher of Aurelian, I strongly support Aurelian.

When Victor returned to the ballroom, he saw Gwen still standing on guard by the golden platform.

She was obedient, and even though everyone was gone, she still stood there, not moving.

Because, this is Victor's order.

Gwen always remembered, Victor told her.

For this banquet, she only needs to take the princess into the hall, and then stand where she should stand, so that everyone can see it.

So, she just stood there, like an ice sculpture made of wind and snow.

A noble knight like a work of art.

He was about to beckon Gwen over, but Aurelian had already come to his side.

After sending her father back, Aurelian returned.

So that I can see Victor again.

She reflected the flickering candlelight, and her figure seemed to be blurred.

Just like her heart, she was uneasy, like the churning waves of the sea.

"Old ...... Teacher. ”

Standing next to Victor, he seemed to become a little nervous even to speak.

It's like the first time I was trained by a teacher.

The first time, it will be very stressful.
